When I tried to delete them with the unlocker it reported that it can't delete the files but that it could put them on a list of files to be deleted on the next restart. When I tried to delete the remaining files manually it reported that they were locked, so I loaded LockHunter as was suggested. It deleted everything except a few dozen folders and files totaling a mere 20 megabytes or so. Unfortunately however, the success was not 100%. Wow, who would guess that something so wild looking would be required, but this sequence worked where I had only met with complete failure before. That was somewhat different than similar sequences I had found before - especially the cryptic *S-1-5-32-544:F.
In the link provided by zbook I found this DOS sequence: It seems like windows did not recognize those files even though it was pretty clear to me that they were an old windows installation. There was no selection in that list for old windows installations. The storage tab from "system" showed that there was about 10G of temporary files, but when I clicked on temporary files it scanned them and then offered a set of selections that totaled far less then 1G. None of the windows tools was able to delete any of the files in the $Windows.~bt folder. You would have to be more specific before your comment would be useful. I know what a boot media is, but what I don't know is what is the relevance to my question. To Siw2 who suggested "Boot Media" - thanks for you suggestion.
